The city of Bainbridge Island has hired a new building inspector and plans examiner to join its planning department.

City Manager Doug Schulze announced Friday that Trish Bennon was offered the job.

Schulze expects her to begin working at the city in June.

Bennon — a certified plans examiner, building inspector, mechanical inspector and permit technician — has 15 years of experience in the field of building regulation.

She was previously a project lead for Kitsap County, where she was responsible for implementing electric plan reviews and online permit applications.
